This is the early version with the maker mark being stamped into the blade.
The blade is marked " US M3 IMPERIAL". The stamping is clear.
Knife is in used condition and shows use, the blade has a bit of staining which gives it a nice patina. The cross guard is loose possibly due to some shrinkage to the leather
The shape of the handle is slightly different to other M3 knives and it looks like the leather washers have been replaced at some stage which is why it looks a different shape and they have shrunk over time which is why the cross guard is loose and there is a small gap between the pommel and the leather washers. The pommel also moves (wobbles).
There is no flaming bomb logo stamped into the pommel.
The M8A1 scabbard is marked on the front of the metal throat guard with "US M8A1" the metal belt hanger has been removed. The scabbard is a post war scabbard.
